Matt Cruse and Kate DeVries are back! Their secret relationship is as secret as ever. Their adventures are more dangerous than ever and tension of any kind is higher than it's ever been. This time pirates, flying cats, electrifying sky squids and airborn adventures aren't enough. This time, Matt and Kate are taking on SPACE!
But it's not like you'd imagine it. At all.
How could I not give the third book in this series 5 stars? It was as wonderful as the first. There were nights when I had to stay up late with my little booklight holding my breath and turning page after page. Gripping! I just wish there was another one of these to look forward to! Maybe I should go look at those other books he's written. Bats? Cats? Hmmm. Off to investigate!

Kenneth Oppel
Matt loves to fly. He was born in the air aboard the airship that carried his parents to their new home in the Americas. His father worked aboard the classy airship Aurora and brought home fascinating tales of the views, the feelings, the smells and the work. But now that his father is gone, it's up to him to support his mother and two sisters, so he takes a job aboard his father's old ship.
For Matt, there's no better feeling than being free and aloft in his beloved ship. But all of that changes when he rescues a strange, stranded man only hours away from death, meets a beautiful and rich young woman named Kate, gets attacked by pirates, sees a creature that shouldn't exists and somehow gets caught in an adventure he never wanted.

I loved this book! It's a little verbose (wordy), but worth the effort. Once the action really starts, you will fall in love with the characters, the plot and the Aurora. The descriptions are beautiful and vivid. The characters are real and interesting and the twists will keep you guessing!
